Give your concrete tile rooftop a face-lift

A brand new concrete tile roof complements the appearance of your home. It is durable and can last a long time. But concrete tile roofs installed in the past can look weathered, faded over time due to sun exposure, being coated with dirt and maybe chipping or cracking.

Homeowners may think of re-roofing or may not know what to do at all. At West Oahu Roofing Inc. (WOR) the company has an answer: Give a face-lift to your concrete tile roof.

WOR has been refinishing concrete tile roofs for years, and implementing four simple steps.

Firstly, repair the chipped or cracked roof tiles. It may be difficult just to find replacement tiles because there are many homes with roofing materials that have been discontinued. WOR has a variety of discontinued concrete tiles to match and repair your roof.

Secondly, clean the roof tiles. Proper cleaning is done using a pressure washer and is needed to remove all of the dirt that has been caked-on for years.
Thirdly, use primer. By applying a good primer to your roof tiles, the coating will adhere to the surface of the tile to prevent the coating from peeling.

Lastly, add roof coating. WOR applies multiple layers of roof coating on the tile roof. Reputable tile-coating materials will supplement its coating with a 10-year warranty against peeling or fading, and it can be tinted to a variety of colors.

The photos of the Monier Roma Tile roofs were put through the face-lift process. WOR applied Reflect-Tec’s Heat-Reflective roof coating, which makes your home cooler and complements the appearance of your home.
